Good idea. A pygmy hippopotamus isn't a crocodile or rhinoceros so we might get away with it!

Can’t get this out of my head after hearing it on the radio @elizacarthy.bsky.social and @jonboden.bsky.social will be on tour soon m.youtube.com/watch?v=S5ae...

Looking forward to @jonboden.bsky.social & @elizacarthy.bsky.social doing Wassail stuff on 15th Nov at Stamford Corn Exchange Theatre. I spent many happy hours as a child there as Mum was a regular performer. I never performed there and haven't even been back since I was 12, so it'll be emotional!

A lot of folks are criticizing the No Kings marches as not doing anything immediate, but for my money, having a single day when the left stops eating its own, locks arms, and is reminded that we're all on the same side and are in this together, is worth its weight in gold.

Thanks Helen! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

An upside-down VW Beetle has been on the side of the road between Farmoor and Swinford Toll Bridge for so long now without the police taking it away that I decided it needed its own Google Maps entry ... and it's been accepted ... and now it's got a 5 star review!!! maps.app.goo.gl/VdBCYJ3EnDcK...

Super humans @elizacarthy.bsky.social

Just finished work out and going on the bike. I am really tired now but got to have a rest now before my salad. Then take pudsey out later then go on the bath and chill out later. I am going to put the Christmas album by the incredible @elizacarthy.bsky.social and @jonboden.bsky.social

Full harvest moon blessings to you from my moon seeking evening walk

Another look at Three Score and Ten, a great song we associate with the Watersons. salutfolk.com/2025/10/03/c...

Proud to honour - however modestly - Martin Carthy and @elizacarthy.bsky.social In this way

Thank you Colin! 🥰

Great to see our name in lights at the British Podcast Awards - well deserved recognition for the wonderful team that put their heart and soul into Folk on Foot - Matthew

On the new Salut #Folk site—which looks a lot better than the old one!

Scroll to the end to hear Nigel Farage telling the truth.

As the nights draw in a good evening for fishing again I reckon. Mandolin in hand. @elizacarthy.bsky.social

@elizacarthy.bsky.social this arrived in the post today and was waiting for me on my return from Spain. Please send my thanks and regards to 'the Daddy'

Let me present the final post to appear at my folk/folk-rock site Salut! Live. It dies with Typepad’s closure next week but is already settling into its new Wordpress home as salutfolk.com #folkmusic #folkrock @elizacarthy.bsky.social @nextwavef.bsky.social www.salutlive.com/2025/09/adie...

I'm trying to raise a bit of money to send books to a new Mobile Library being set up specifically to support the homeless in London. It's being organised by the charity "PINT Giving". I'm donating £100 & if you can help too, i'd be so grateful. More info here. tinyurl.com/37yn63zu

Imagine you’re living and working here, perfectly legally. You’re building a home and a life, maybe starting a family Then Farage says he intends to throw you out of the country How the hell must that feel? If you’re in Shropshire, would you talk to me about this? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

#NowSpinning #NowPlaying #NowListening Just wonderful. Virtuoso guitar and a now richly venerable voice. And some breathtaking arrangements, accompanied by Sheema Mukherjee on sitar and @elizacarthy.bsky.social on fiddle and voice. Let me swim in a jug of this.

What are your plans for tomorrow? This Sunday at 4pm BST we're livestreaming The Young'uns from St Andrew’s Church in Sheffield. Don't miss out - you're in for a treat! #LTYLR #LiveMusic #FolkMusic events.livetoyourlivingroom.com/events/livet...

Now that’s an English folk song I can get behind … love the musical references too! youtube.com/shorts/Z731N...
